“Eli sings tunefully without folderol or affectation. One can practice for
a lifetime and not achieve this rare vocal quality, which I think is due to
character, upbringing and personal straightforwardness, plus an innate
musicality. Pete Seeger has this, and maybe Odetta. You can't buy it. But
I'm proud to say that these days I'm capable of knowing it when I hear it,
which is the next best thing to having it myself. You can take this from me
to the bank: this lady is The Real Thing.
Bill shares this honest vocal quality, although I'll say that I felt more
ready to appreciate him after the lady so ably set the vocal tone. It was
kinda’ like, if she's with him and he's with her I'll trust in it. He has a
jug-band, humorous sensibility in his voice. Sometimes he makes me think of
Jerry Colonna, or of twenties recordings R. Crumb would feature. He's
charming and gruff and fun to listen to. And, oh, his guitar playing: such
a pleasure to hear. This gentleman knows what he's doing and clearly has
been doing it for a long, long time. His touch is absolutely secure; your
shoulders relax when you realize he's going to pull off everything he
attempts. He'll switch tone so slyly, and everything he plays is aggressive
and groovy.
Thank God for such honest artists among us, and thank these folks for
carrying the torch.” - Michael Smith (Notorious Chicago based Songwriter)
